Question:
Can you have surgery if you are at risk for Celiac Disease or Sprue? (Genetic)

I have a family member w/Celiac Disease and I understand that it puts me at risk... will I still be able to have surgery? What if they find out I it have before surgery, What if it is sometime after? Im a bit afraid to tell the surgeon this because I am afraid of being denied the procedure. Any info would be greatly apprecitated! :)    — [Anonymous] (posted on July 10, 2001)
